Innovation in Industrial Wastewater Treatment - Sustainable Water Reuse Strategies Applied to the Paint/Pigment Dye Industry Introduction The paint/pigment industry is a large consumer of process and wash water to be used in various water based paint pigment products. The water usage for this industry is estimated at 75-85 million gallons per day, with ...

ULTRA-EVER DRY is a superhydrophobic (water) and oleophobic (hydrocarbons) coating that will completely repel almost any liquid. Ultratech EverDry uses proprietary nanotechnology to coat an object and create a barrier of air on its surface. This barrier repels water, oil and other liquids unlike any coating seen before. Technical Information: ...

Barrel Reconditioning Industries (BRI) of Cottage Grove, MN builds recycling systems for both metal and plastic containers, including lubricating fluid drums and barrels. A typical BRI system consists of several integrated machines or stations, including a solvent preflush and a high pressure water wash. The water wash presents two distinct problems. First, oil and grease contaminated wash water ...

Glass Melting Furnaces. Applications where several pieces of conventional equipment struggle to attain only marginal efficiency provides an opportunity for the Cloud Chamber Scrubber (CCS) to showcase its unique capabilities as a multi-pollutant device. Container / float glass manufacturing is a typical example. Following other successful applications in the glass industry, a pilot study to ...

Conventional scaffold sheeting is an established method of providing temporary containment and weather protection for scaffold structures. Material selection should reflect the application, the anticipated weather conditions and the expected duration of the project. Furthermore, stringent Flame Retardant requirements for covering materials are specified on most projects. There are ...

Once a determination is made that a moldy surface can be cleaned instead of removed or demolished, what cleaning agents are effective in removing or killing the mold? Many factors influence the selection of a cleaning agent. 1). The type of surface to be cleaned: Is it porous? Hard such as cement or sheetrock? Soft, such as cloth, fabric or wallpaper? Absorbent and thick such as rugs, ...

Effective methods of purification of phenol industrial wastewaters and wastes based on the different chemical phenol transformations to insoluble in water low toxical compounds with some valuable properties have been discovered. Chemical method of dephenolation using sulfochlorides may be applied for purification of industrial waters with any initial phenol concentration. Condensation method is ...

The Manchester (England)-based company Reckon Packaging Limited is a leading manufacturer of HDPE synthetic containers in the United Kingdom. A WLK 15 shredder from WEIMA was recently commissioned there. The aim was to efficiently shred and recycle IBCs that could not be reused. Industrial Bulk Containers (IBCs) are used mainly in the chemical, food and pharmaceutics industries. Recon Packaging ...

The Port of Rotterdam Authority is housed in an office building with probably the most stunning view over Rotterdam. From the top floor, visitors have a breathtaking view on the many barges which are travelling along the busy river, the Erasmus bridge and the skyline of Europe’s main port. Speaking about the importance of ports and harbours to the recycling industry, Victor Schoenmakers, at ...

How do you eliminate problems associated with the collection of rainwater in outdoor containment systems and maintain compliance with EPA and Clean Water Act regulations? Since most outdoor oil storage tank sumps and oil drum spill pallets will inevitably be exposed to local precipitation and storm water runoff from nearby catchment surfaces, it is necessary to make sure you ...

The treatment of effluents of the gold and silver cyanidation process is one of the main problems that the precious metals industry faces. These effluents contain variable quantities of free cyanide, weak complexed cyanide, strong complexed cyanide and thiocyanate. Different methods are used for the removal of cyanide but most of the times the consumption of reagents raises the operation cost to ...

At EcoloBlue, we are trying to raise awareness about our All Contained Emergency (A.C.E. Container) solution in a 40ft container. It is a self contained, powered, water generation, and bottling system (600 to 1000 260ml pouches per hour) that provides up to 2,000 liters of pure drinking water daily from the Humidity in the Air. EcoloBlue’s A.C.E. Container is designed for solutions such as ...

Operating Issue A manufacturer of metal containers encountered major operating problems with their Eisenmann 40,000 SCFM Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) that hindered their production performance and caused major concern regarding an upcoming air compliance test. The overall pressure drop across the system was high and the pressure imbalances negatively impacted their process ...

Introduction Entry to freight containers represents a significant hazard to staff responsible for inspection, stuffing or destuffing because of the large number of airborne chemicals that can be present. Research in Germany and the Netherlands found hazardous levels of gases and vapours in around 20% of all containers and this level of contamination is now accepted as commonplace. It ...

A pilot-scale ballasted flocculation system was used to remove fluoride from one type of industrial wastewater. The system included the formation of calcium fluoride (CaF2) using calcium hydroxide followed by coagulation sedimentation. Calcium fluoride was recycled as nuclei for enhancing CaF2 precipitation and as a ballasting agent for improving fluoride removal and flocculation ...

Aromatic amines are environmental pollutants and represent one of the most important classes of industrial and natural chemicals. Some types of complex effluents containing these chemical species, mainly those originated from chemicals plants are not fully efficiently treated by conventional processes. In this work, the use of electrochemical technology through an electrolytic pilot scale flow ...

Introduction The worldwide market for temporary enclosures has steadily increased over the last two decades as facility owners, engineers and contractors recognise the safety benefits and cost-effectiveness of installing temporary enclosures. Apart from minimising weather-induced delays to a project, scaffold sheeting enhances site safety by preventing debris and small objects from falling ...
